SMALL: Large Impacts on Language Learning and Social Engagement

Social Media_Assisted Language Learning (SMALL), grounded in the tenets of connectivism, offers "new virtual ecologies that afford language learning and socialization." (Valnecia, J., 2016).  Research provides deeper insights into these "new virtual ecologies" and offers a plethora of justifications, proven results, and recommendations for integration into language teaching and learning.  The presenter highlights the spectrum of research-based rationale that opens the doors for greater student engagement, motivation, and interactions.

Impact on Learning: Success Stories and Potential Drawbacks  

Elke will start with an intro how to setup Whatsapp. Next there'll be a review of using different types of Whatsapp groups: Groups set up for a specific class, groups set up by one teacher for multiple classes, groups set up by students. Some of the class groups continued communicating outside of class. Encouraging students to start in class and then make a practice part of their independent learning is key. Elke will discuss  successes and challenges with using Whatsapp. Setting up rules within groups is essential.
